What you need to know!
The Montreal Canadiens have gone on a COVID-19 pause which has really hurt the schedule this week. Tonight’s slate is now only 3 games and Friday’s is only 4 games. So because of that, I am changing up the schedule for the Slapshot Appreciation Contest to run Thursday, Saturday and Monday. It will run on the main slates.
TODAYS STACKS
The Kings and Sharks will meet and with the lowest total of the three I can see this one actually being the right spot to game stack. Buffalo and Pittsburgh will draw ownership heavily on the Penguins side, so no thanks there and Winnipeg vs Vancouver would be second. For a three game slate like this, going away from chalk has massive upside.
LA Kings vs Sharks
- Kopitar – Iafallo – Brown – Doughty
- Couture – Kane
Winnipeg vs Vancouver
- Horvat – Boeser – Hoglander
- Kyle Connor
Buffalo vs Pittsburgh
- Kris Letang – Lock him or John Marino in. Need Defenseman vs Buffalo
- Nothing on the Sabres side
Best overall value plays:
- Sam Reinhart, John Marino, Andreas Athanasiou, Kevin Labanc
